Dress: Village Plaid Dress by Tea Collection
Shoes: Salt-Water Sandals, from Tea Collection (similar here)
Sweater tights: Target
When Tea Collection wrote me an email asking if I’d like to style a children’s outfit using some things from their collection I just about dismissed it as one of those funny press emails bloggers get that have nothing to do with their blogs. Well it wasn’t as strange as the Kim Kardashian lip gloss/Sex and the City DVD party ones I usually get, but not having a child of my own I know absolutely nothing about kid’s clothes and didn’t really see how it’d fit on the blog. But then I checked out their site and changed my mind in a hurry. Their clothes are good and simple and neutral-colored, and the little girl’s dresses are so sweet (in a not overly girly sort of way) that I found myself wondering if I could fit into a size 16. Then I figured that maybe it’d be better to style my little niece Stella instead.
Stella is a weird/good mix of tomboy and girly–she is tougher than most little boys and doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything, but she dresses in all pink outfits that my sister Ashley lets her pick out herself each morning. This outfit is maybe not very Stella but it is kind of tomboy and exactly the sort of thing I’d want to wear–flannel dresses and thick tights and sandals outfits sound just about perfect now with the fall weather we’re finally getting in the south.
Thanks a million to Tea Collection for the clothes, and of course to Stella for modeling and Ashley for taking such good photos. I miss those two already. At the moment I’m at my parents’ for Thanksgiving with Drew and Lauren and Neil, about to eat lots and lots. Hope all of you here in the US have a wonderful holiday!

Excellent work Rhiannon! I can certainly see your style aesthetic here. And Stella is so precious. (:

Absolutely beautiful photos . Love the dress and wish they made some for women .
She is the little you! Minus the hair color:))
Aww, they’re great pictures! And you’ve definitely dressed her in your own image! I love the setting too. : )

Your sis took beautiful pictures and Stella, oh..so so cute.

Awww, what an adorable little girl! This looks just like something you’d wear too!
So great. I pretty much only dressed my lil lady in Tea clothing this fall and it wears so well. I could only afford a few dresses so she wears the dickens out of them and they look great still.

I’m a huge fan of your blog
Wow, beautiful pictures!! Love the styling, aww Stella is adorable!

How cute!!
Confession: I taught myself to sew in order to replicate a particularly adorable plum corduroy Tea child’s jumper that I wanted a (more grow-up) version of. I worked at Helix, an Athens, GA boutique that carries their line, and fell in love with half the outfits; their colors and cuts are so lovely! I love your styling here.
Thanks, Flynn, so great that you live/lived in Athens! I think I might know what jumper you’re talking about and I can see why you’d want to re-create it!
She’s so adorable! I want to steal her outfit!
These photos are lovely! She’s so cute!
Aw, this is just adorable.
